SHORT NOTES. 367 Sagina Reuteri Boiss. — Mr. Druce, in this Journal for 1894, pp. 183-4, records the occurrence, in the brickwork (of the plat- form) of Malvern railway-station, of this plant. It was first gathered there in 1889. I have carefully searched for specimens elsewhere in this neighbourhood, but without success, until a few days ago, when I again met with it in some quantity, among the brickwork of the platform at Foregate Street Station, Worcester, distant some 1^ miles from the other habitat, but upon the same line of railway. This confirms my belief that it was introduced with the ballast employed to make these platforms, when the railway was constructed, about thirty-eight years ago. The ballast may have been brought from Cardiff, or some port having com- munication with Spain. — Richard F. Towndrow. South Hants Plants. — Mr. Townsend in his Flora rejects Campanula Rapimcidus L. for S. Hants as improbable, on the ground that the stations from which C. liajnmculus and 0. patiila are reported are in the same immediate neighbourhood, only one to three miles apart ; and he inclines to the opinion that C. patida is the species that occurs, and that it has been mistaken for C. Rapun- aiilus. It seems very likely that one species is the basis of all the records of the two plants ; but I can answer for C. Rapunculus, having seen it in fair quantity during the summers of 1894 and 1895 on hedgebanks in Avon Tyrrell, at a point which might absorb all the localities given for both species in District II. of the Flora, except one for (7. RajnmcuJus, "Bisterne, B. Kimj. My observation would go to confirm Mr. I3olton King's naming, and render it probable that there are two stations for U. Rapimcidus, viz. Bisterne and Avon Tyrrell. Any way, C. Rapunculus may stand on record for S. Hants ; while the record of C. patula does not depend on its occurrence in District II. In the same locality, between Avon Tyrrell and Heme Station occur both Sparganium ramosum Huds. and *S'. neglectum Beeby. The latter was published for S. Hants in Journ. Bot. 1886, 143. I do not know whether S. ramosum as a segregate has been since certified for the vice-county. Does not Utricularia vulgaris L. want confirming for this part of Hampshire ? I have seen only U. neglecta Lehm. in District II. — Edward F. Linton. Hypnum micans Wils. in Inverness-shire. — I have found the above moss this year on the west coast of this county. It grows in small quantity in a steep ravine about a quarter of a mile from the shore, and 150 ft. above sea-level. Hobkirk's Synopsis gives this moss as occurring in the south of Ireland and Borrowdale. Dr. Braithwaite writes me that it was found, he thinks by McKinlay, some years ago in the south-west of Scotland. It is one of the plants given in Wallace's Island Life, ed. 2, as not occurring in Europe otherwise than in the British Isles. The Rev. H. G. Jameson, to whom I sent a specimen, has verified the name. — Symers M. Macvicar.
